I'm working on https://storymotion.video/

a tool for creating hand-drawn animated diagrams for educational creators or technical writer.

- You can export it as video (4k, 60fps) - Do some presentation. - or embed as iframe on to the blog posts or technical docs.

It's combined the experiences of Keynote and Excalidraw, both software I was enjoy using!

https://spud.recipes

A tiny web app for busy weeknight cooking.

You tap in what ingredients you’ve got, add a time limit + a couple of preferences, and it gives you 3 genuinely doable dinner ideas with step-by-step recipes (no “manage your pantry”, no endless scrolling).

It’s early, but people seem to like the “use up what you’ve got” angle. Feedback very welcome.

I've been working with my wife on Uruky [1] for a couple of months, now. It's a EU-based (early) Kagi [2] alternative (privacy-focused and ad-free search with domain boosting/exclusion rules).

We've been using it with friends and family semi-successfully (hashbangs always work if the results aren't satisfactory).

It's really difficult to get bigger indexes other than Mojeek and Marginalia to want to work with us and improve the results further, so that's something I've been researching more, lately.

If you're interested in trying it for a few days and are a human, reach out with your account number and I'll give you a couple of weeks for free. We're pushing improvements daily.

A daily, async version of the dictionary game.

Each day, players try to spot the real definition of an obscure word among the fakes submitted by other players the day before. Fake definitions rank on a daily leaderboard.

I love the traditional version of the game, but it's not so easy to get a session going. An asynchronous, global format is my attempt to make it more casual and accessible.

It's live for about a month now: ~100 daily players, 5000 total, some 20 people on 10-day streaks.

I've been working on an iOS app to help my mom keep track of major awards and film festivals: https://awardedapp.com

I had this project for a while in the back burner, and like many of you over the holiday I went back to it with the help of Claude Code... it's been a lot of fun.

Wow, I always wanted such tool!

What is your technical stack? Do you build editor from scratch or do you use something as a baseline ?

II built a free USCIS form-filling tool (no Adobe required) USCIS forms still use XFA PDFs, which don’t let you edit in most browsers. Even with Adobe, fields break, and getting the signature is hard. So I converted the PDF form into modern, browser-friendly web forms - and kept every field 1:1 with the original. You fill the form, submit it, and get the official USCIS PDF filled. https://fillvisa.com/demo/ What Fill…

Sounds useful!
